Sarvanga Alepa

Sarvanga Alepa: Full Body Herbal Paste Therapy at Utpala Ayurdhama

Sarvanga Alepa is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment that involves the application of medicated herbal paste to the entire body. The word “Sarvanga” means the whole body, and “Alepa” refers to coating or applying. This therapy is designed to detoxify, rejuvenate, and heal the body through the therapeutic properties of the herbal mixture. Sarvanga Alepa is especially effective for improving skin health, reducing inflammation, and balancing the doshas, particularly Pitta and Kapha.

At Utpala Ayurdhama, Sarvanga Alepa is customized according to your unique constitution and health conditions, providing a refreshing and holistic approach to restoring balance and vitality to your body.

What is Sarvanga Alepa?

Sarvanga Alepa is an Ayurvedic body treatment where a thick herbal paste made from natural ingredients, including medicinal herbs, powders, and oils, is applied all over the body. The herbs used in this treatment are carefully chosen based on the individual’s dosha constitution and specific health concerns.

This therapy works to cleanse the skin, improve blood circulation, reduce joint and muscle pain, and eliminate toxins from the body. It also provides cooling relief to inflammatory skin conditions and helps to restore the body’s natural balance. Sarvanga Alepa is an ideal treatment for promoting both physical and mental well-being, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Sarvanga Alepa Procedure

1. Preparation: The patient is asked to lie down comfortably on a treatment bed. The herbal paste is prepared fresh by mixing finely ground herbs, powders, and medicinal oils. The paste may also include ingredients like turmeric, sandalwood, neem, and other herbs that are selected based on the patient’s health condition.
2. Application: The warm herbal paste is applied evenly across the entire body, covering the skin from head to toe. The paste is usually thick and cool, providing an immediate soothing sensation to the body.
3. Relaxation Period: Once the paste is applied, the patient remains still for 30 to 45 minutes to allow the herbs to penetrate deeply into the skin and tissues. During this time, the herbal mixture works to draw out impurities, reduce inflammation, and nourish the skin.
4. Removal: After the prescribed duration, the herbal paste is gently removed, and the patient may be given a warm bath using herbal water or a gentle Ayurvedic cleanser to wash away any residue.
5. Post-Treatment: After the therapy, the skin feels soft, refreshed, and deeply nourished. The patient is advised to rest and avoid exposure to cold or wind immediately after the treatment.
